FaIlacies of Strikers.

Perhaps the most persistent fallacy in
duged by strikers consist III the belief or
assumption that they have lieu upon
the places which they lave thrown up.
This fallacy appears conspicuously in the
strange appeal issued by the long
shoremen on behalf Of the coal handlers
In this curious document it is taken for
granted that the men who have struck
can go back to work whenever they
please, and that their places will be kept
open for them. Probably some such de
fusion is at the bottom of many strikers,
but how can it survive the rude shocks
of actual experience it is difficult to IN
derstand. AS a matter of fact in nine
cases out OF ten in which unskiled labor
strikes, it simply loses the opportunity
to work for that employer. In refusing
to work save on their own terms the
men are within their rights, but when
they have quit work their rights end,
and the rights of any others who may be
willing to do the abandoned work begin.
1t is not possible for these strikers to
compel any employer to take them back.
There is plenty of non union labor to be
had for the asking, and that fact settles
the case, however reluctant the strikers
may be 70 realize it.
1t is another falla"y of these men that
the public are in full sympathy with
them. That can hardly be the case, see
ing the injury and loss they have inflicted
upon the public. For weeks now all
business has been more or less affected,
and severe suffering has been entailed
npon the poorest and most helpless ele,
ment of the community, through the
blind obstinacy of men who refuse to see
what every one else has seen from the
first, namely, the hopelesness of their 20
sition. They have i'll all this time mani
tested the utmost diflerer ce to the mis-
chief they were doing and the hardship
they were iAtiicting upon the poor of New
York. They have done their best to ex-
tend that privation to the whole COM
munIty by producing a coal famine in
this great city. And now they actually
solicit money contributions from the gen
eral public who they have been persecu
ting and injuring, and in So doing talk as
if they really believe their whole course
had been eminently magnanimous and
public spirited, and as if they were some
how entitled to be supper ed in it by

TWO SINNERS. "
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

There was man, it was said one time
Who went astray in his youthful prime.
Can the BRAIN keep cool and the heart keep
quiet,
When the blood is a river that's running
riot?
And boys will be boys, the old folks say,
And mans tn" better who's had his day
The sinner reformed, and the preacher told
OF the prodsel son who came back to the
fold,
And Christian people threw open the door
With a warmer welcome than ever befo1e
Wealth and honor were his to command
And spotless woman gave him her hand.
And the world .trewed their pathway with
flowers a bloom,
Crying, Good bless lady ana God bless
groom"
There was a maiden went astray,
In the golden dawn of her life'S young day.
She had more passion and heart than head
Aud she followed blindlv where fond love
led,
And love unchecked is dangerous guide
To wander at will by fair girls side.
The woman repented and turned from sin,
But no door opened TO let her in
The preacher pray ed that she might he for
given,
But told her to look for mercy in heaven.
For this the law of the earth, we know,
That the woman is scorned, while the man
may go.
A brave man welded her. after all,
But the world said, frowning, We shall
not call.

AT the present day there is an infinite

which is cards. The latter owes It's fasci-

Il will not say it is crime to play

When the revival broke out in England
l30 years ago cards were the first things

Improyed Heating OF Boilers.

Startling results are claimed for Dur
ham (Eng) improvement In the heating
of steam boilers. It is asserted that the
cubic bulk of fuel that will henceforth be
required for marine steam engines will
be reduced by seventy per cent, giving a
gain to the extent indicated by that pro-
portion to the stowage space for cargo in
ocean going steamships. The time tor rails
ing steam will be diminished in all steam
boilers, stationary or marine, by at least
two-thirds. The cost of fuel consump-
tion will bs reduced by more than one
half, and the production of smoke will be
absolutely annihilated. The process Is
stated to have been made the subject Of
actual experimental demonstration, and
every test has been applied. The new
process is said to be applicable to existing
steam boilers, and the working out OF the
process will very greatly reduce the pros
ort wear and tear of boilers. frs-safs

Good health, good morals, good sense and

good wife. These are the indispensables.
After them come the minor advantages of

will be comfortable and happy. Lacking
either, it will be in more or less degree a
